Uc Awakening and Selected Short Stories of Kate Chopin

Large format for easy reading. Chopin's best-known work, it is the story of a dissatisfied wife who explores her sexuality. The novel examines the smothering effects of late 19th-century social structures upon a woman whose simple desire is to fulfill her own potential and live her own life. It is a story of both courage and defeat, lyrically written and boldly poignant.
